Administrative decisions and disputes

We examine administrative decisions, the documents on which they are based and their effect on the client’s legal position. Our work includes preparing submissions and representing clients in proceedings challenging administrative action.

The appropriate procedure and forum are assessed by reference to the decision and the nature of the dispute.

Public procurement and project permissions

We review tender documents and public-contract terms, advise on project licensing and permit requirements, and address disputes arising from public contracts.

This work draws on Youssry Saleh’s experience in energy, electricity and construction projects, including concessions, licensing and government tenders, and the team’s experience in project contracts. Commercial project structures and transaction documents are addressed within Corporate & Commercial.

Tax and customs disputes

We advise on tax and customs disputes, examining the relevant decision, transaction records and grounds for objection. The team’s experience includes tax and customs questions arising from business activity and transactions.

The applicable objection and litigation procedures depend on the issue and the decision concerned. Tax advice on transactions and transfer-pricing questions is covered within Corporate & Commercial.
